Obama Cuts Funding To Black Colleges

May 10, 2009 - Black colleges will fight cut to federal program. Obama's budget doesn't include $85 million in extra funding for schools

RALEIGH, North Carolina - Leaders of historically black colleges say they'll fight a reduction in a federal program they call a financial lifeline at a time of economic distress for the schools and their students.

President Barack Obama's education budget, unveiled Thursday, included major spending increases in many areas — but didn't include an extra $85 million that black institutions have received annually for the past two years thanks to a 2007 change to the student loan laws.
